Basketball games in Italy canceled again

AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy — Eight high school basketball games in Italy scheduled for this weekend have been canceled due to weather concerns, according to DODDS-Europe Athletic Director Karen Seadore.

Aviano’s trip to play Marymount International in Rome on Friday and Saturday in both boys and girls games and American Overseas School of Rome’s visit to take on Vicenza both days have both been scrapped, Seadore wrote in an email.

It’s the third straight weekend that at least some DODDS events in Italy have been cancelled.

In addition, Seadore said that AOSR won’t be participating in the regional wrestling qualifier at Aviano on Saturday.
